I'm 63.  I remember the warnings that we will be in permanent winter by the year 2000.  The earth will be habitable only at the equator.  Most of the worlds population will be dead.  Further, that we might be able to lessen the problem slightly by deliberately causing the ice caps to melt, there was even a plan on how to it by spreading a layer of soot.

Back in the '60s, the "Nuclear Winter" that was going to wipe us out.

In 1973 I was in eighth grade and we were told that we are going into another ice age. The early 80's saw some of the coldest temps around WV ever. I remember it getting -23 deg where I lived and it was below -19 for almost a week. In the late 70's main water lines froze in places below 30 inches..I never heard about global warming until after 1988 when we had record for the number of days at high temps and a severe drought that summer.

The problem is the cover on the left is a photoshop hoax.



Because of that every time someone mentions the Time cover they bring up this one and yell hoax.  But here are a few real Time covers that I got directly from the Time Magazine web site -

We were going to starve to death as we froze in the dark. Population Explosion, Coming Ice Age,  Energy Crisis,  Pollution,  DDT. We were all going to die unless we trusted our existence to the politically well connected egg heads to save us. Because if we don't,  ghia will punish us

They are still trying to push this shit.

I'd hate to be punished by a car.

same age here, I had a hs science instructor preaching the same sermon. C02 was going to keep the Sun's warmth from reaching the surface........thereby cooling the planet. Funny thing, when I was subbing at the same school twenty years later he had shifted to global warming. The posters and banners that he'd hung in the seventies preaching we were all going to die from freezing had been replaced with posters and banners that we were all going to die from roasting.........
